PANEM ET CIRCENSES –SAND AND BLOOD

ESSAY

“Who really were these fighters so loved and hated, ridiculed and feared, but simply called GLADIATORS”?

Panem et Circenses is an essay on the world of gladiators to try to find out who these men and women really were. It is a essay about people that were acclaimed, derided, insulted, loved and hated, and simply called “Gladiators”. In fact not may authors dared to try to explain the dark sides of this topic: who they really were?

Meeting common men…

The history books are full of great characters, those who have accomplished epic deeds, of those that History had selected to be remembered. The man of everyday life has always fascinated me, the one that history had chosen to be forgotten. Common people, common men.Like gladiators were.
